The approach that Tim mentions is a good backstop, but this covers for an operational situation at Twitter that almost never happens. If you are seeing this condition happen often, there's probably something else wrong somewhere. If it is on our end, I'd like to fix it, but chances are its on your end, as there are no other reports of this situation.
Do you have NAT or a HTTP proxy, either in hardware or software, between your server and the internet? If so, it may be dropping sessions, leaving your session high and dry. -John On Sun, Jan 2, 2011 at 6:56 AM, Tim Haines <tmhai...@gmail.com> wrote: > The best practices guide (or some doc) explains the streaming connections > have heartbeats every 60 seconds or so.
